Directory of Arts and Culture Organizations & Festivals

This edition which is the 2010 edition is being released at an important moment. Three things account for this. Firstly in only a few weeks from now the ARTerial Network will be organising its second conference 20th to 22nd September 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa and this network intends to develop into a pan-African network of networks uniting artists networks in Africa with national branches envisaged throughout the continent. Secondly, immediately after the ArtTerial Network conference Africa will for the first time host the World Summit on the Arts and Culture scheduled for the 22nd to 25th September 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Thirdly, in 2010 Africa will also for the first time host FIFA's World Cup in South Africa. The World Summit on the Arts and Culture will bring together government ministries responsible for culture, national arts councils and culture Agencies, funding organizations, interested stakeholders, artists and cultural managers, administrators and promoters of the creative sector. On the other hand the FIFA World cup will offer opportunity for Africa to showcase its rich art and culture through exhibitions, performances and displays. With these events at hand the CEMAC region which is made up of Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon need a lot of exposure.
